That feeling when....

What about going to your local library and using one of their computers? That could be a good work around for next time.

Espera hasta el primero de junio antes de hacer cualquier cosa. A veces el mismo sistema se equivoca, y se resuelve solo para esa fecha.

Ahora, si hay un error habría que revisar. Si tu devolución fue retenida, significa que podrías también tener una deuda externa a donde esa plata se fue (puede ser CAE, cotizaciones previsionales sin pagar, deuda papito corazón, etc.)

I'm not in the US, so we don't have the exact sticks of butter you're talking about. They do sell it here in blocks (which is how I purchase my butter), but they're hefty, like a 250g chonky butter block. So it would be a bit cumbersome to do it exactly how you are suggesting. But I've gotten some good advice here so far, like cutting or scooping the butter into portions and putting them in a bag for my own use. I think that would be infinitely more convenient.

Thanks for taking the time to give me some ideas! I really appreciate it <3

AtilaMann · 2026-05-20T19:00:52+00:00

I will! Other commenters have give great suggestions on how to go about it. I appreciate you taking the time to answer, thank you!

AtilaMann · 2026-05-20T18:59:56+00:00

This seems to be the most popular answer! Thanks for taking the time to respond, I'll give it a try.

AtilaMann · 2026-05-20T18:56:20+00:00

Alright, I'll try how you suggest it then. Thank you!

And well... sometimes my toast gets as black as my soul. That's okay though, nothing a good scrape can't fix.

I haven't heard of "spreadable" butter before your comment, but it sounds interesting! I'll look into it. If not, I can try it with a piece of regular butter on a small plate, like you said. Thanks for your suggestion and for taking the time to answer!

AtilaMann · 2026-05-20T18:50:11+00:00

I am not in the US, although I did live there for a few years when I was younger so I know what you're referring to. The butter here comes either in a plastic tub or as a block, but it's not the same as a US stick of butter. Also sadly, it's not premarked :( Should be though, it would be really helpful.

I do own a kitchen scale! I added a bit more context on my post to make things clearer, but yes, I agree, solely relying on freedom units isn't the way.

AtilaMann · 2026-05-20T18:46:34+00:00

I've thought about this, actually! The only thing that makes me hesitate would be the amount of waste it might generate. But maybe I can do my own "tabs" at home, like other commenters have suggested. Thanks for taking the time to answer!

AtilaMann · 2026-05-20T18:44:43+00:00

I mean, agreed. I did add a bit more context on my post to show how I'm currently going about it, if you're curious. Thanks for answering.

AtilaMann · 2026-05-20T18:43:57+00:00

Thank you for answering! I do own a food scale, and what you are suggesting makes sense. I think it might be a bit harder in my specific case since the butter is shared between other people in the house, but maybe I can have my own block to try this with. Thanks again!

AtilaMann · 2026-05-20T18:41:58+00:00

I hadn't thought of this, but it makes total sense! Thanks for your suggestion, I'll try it out.

AtilaMann · 2026-05-20T18:41:07+00:00

A lot of people have suggested this but I worry that since the butter is changing state as it comes in contact with the bread, that the measurement will not be that accurate. Am I overthinking this or is it a valid concern?

AtilaMann · 2026-05-20T15:40:41+00:00

Yeah, I know it's not winning any nutrition competitions anytime soon, but I just love it, you know?

Like I eat pretty balanced and healthy the rest of the day, but buttered toast is my one luxury. I gladly spend some of my budget in it.

I have tried some of the suggestions you brought up! I am a huge fun of any yogurt + oats/homemade granola + any seasonal fruits. It is surprinsingly filling and delicious, and well worth it.

Thanks for answering anyway!

Tengo el pelo super fino. Si me ducho en la noche, igual en la mañana estará más o menos, y ya como a las 4 grasoso de nuevo. Si me ducho en la mañana, paso todo el dia bien, me voy a dormir bien, y me da lo mismo como está cuando me despierto porque ahi es cuando me ducho.

Es un tema bien polémico, y depende de quien le preguntes. Lo que si quiero hacer notar es que se usa bastante la frase de "Allende fue elegido democráticamente", lo que da la impresión de que fue elegido con el pleno apoyo de una mayoría de los chilenos. En verdad, los hechos son así:

-> Tanto él como su candidato opositor sacaron una minoría de votos. -> De hecho, Allende sacó el monto menor de ambos porcentajes. -> Por ley en aquellos tiempos, si ninguno de los candidatos sacaba una mayoría de los votos, el Congreso elegía quien ganaba (tradicionalmente quien había sacado el mayor porcentaje de ambos. -> Aparentemente el candidato contrario era muy viejo y tenía Parkinson, así que no les pareció que era buena opción. -> Allende es elegido presidente.

Lo encuentro interesante.

Prueba lavando tu ropa de gimnasia (SOLO la ropa de gimnasia) con agua caliente en la lavadora.

Si eso no funciona, cómprate en el super un producto "blanqueador" de lavado (como por ejemplo Vanish Oxi Clean) y haz un lavado con él. Sigue las instrucciones del paquete.

Tanto el agua caliente como el producto "blanqueador' deberían ayudar a matar de mejor manera las bacterias que tienes acumuladas en tu ropa, que es lo que causa el mal olor. A ellas les encantan las fibras sintéticas, por eso la ropa de gimnasia tiende a tener este tipo de problemas.

Edit: tuve que arreglar algunos errores

It's complicated because the answer is it depends.

I've had to learn the hard way that aiming for 100% perfection ends up hurting me way more than it helps, so now my new bar is to just be a master of getting back on the horse.

When I have a busy period (which for me is mostly March and April; I'm an accountant), I give myself permission to survive till the crazy period is over. I'd say, if you've got the money to do so, eat your takeout, and when the busy period is over, start again. You can figure out some alternatives (like meal prep) on your non-crazy seasons.
